I agree that wave soldering is probably your best method. Of course if you can, tin the wires in a solder pot before insertion into the board. The solder that would be there will probably facilitate wetting a bit better. If you absolutely have to

We have used JBC soldering stations many years without any major problems. Handpiece is lightweight and comfortable to use. Tips are bit expensive but worth of money. Go Nano for 0402 and smaller and HD for massive part soldering. JBC CD-2BB Solderi

I am partial to Weller for the small rework irons. I use both the WSL with WMP (current model) and some older EC1302 irons with their power supply (I forget the model, but the one with analog setting knob and digital temp readout). I actually prefe

JBC is a great performer, but tips can get a bit expensive. If you are working smaller parts like 0402 and 0201 capacitors, go with the JBC Nano Station. We have 3 stations, each with dual Nano soldering irons. The balance of our stuff is H*kko Fo

Hi Tim It sort of depends on the solder alloy being used and the particular assemblies being soldered. If you are using the usual 63/37 alloy I would consider 500 to be a bit warm unless the assembly required it. Some alloys would require a higher

We are placing a gold plated device (LCC) to a NiAu PCB using a SnPb No-clean solder. We're noticing quite a bit of difficulty with reliable joints (intermittent connectivity) and if we have to rework a particular device, adjacent devices of this sa

We wish to use rectangular 4 segment solar panels in our quartz watches & charge the battery. The size of the soalr panel is 18.20mm X 7 mm and the thickness is 1.15mm. The other popular application of this type solar panels is in calculators. These

| Hi all, | | I thought I'd use this forum to ask a couple general questions on fluxes for manual operations: | First - Is it OK to use a wave soldering type flux (specifically OA)? Thinking about activation temperatures and the ramp rate of the wav

Robert: Several points: 1 Dross is a mixture of various things with no "fixed" composition: � The obvious things are metal oxides mixed with metal and this can vary in color with temperature and composition - remember some intermetallic oxides form

Since when is Hakko putting more plating on their tips? I was told that there was no change to their tips, it was the same tip for Pb or Pbfree. Prior to first use, all Hakko tips are Pbfree. We have been seeing those tips degrade quicker with Pbf
